Exciting Top Gun 3 Update Given by Mission: Impossible 8 Director

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning director Christopher McQuarrie has offered a new Top Gun 3 update, teasing the current progress of the highly anticipated sequel to the 2022’s blockbuster action movie Top Gun: Maverick. Following the released of Mission: Impossible 8, McQuarrie is once again collaborating with Tom Cruise on Top Gun 3, where he has signed on to co-write the untitled project’s screenplay.

What was Mission: Impossible 8 director’s Top Gun 3 update?

During a recent interview, McQuarrie confirmed that they have already come up with the perfect story for Top Gun 3, revealing that co-writer Ehren Kruger was the one who pitched the idea.

“Yeah, I already know what it is,” the filmmaker admitted when he was asked which was harder to “cracked” between Top Gun 3 and Mission: Impossible 8. “It wasn’t hard. I thought it would be, and that’s a good place to go from is you walk into the room going, ‘Come on, what are we going to do?’ and Ehren Kruger pitched something and I went, ‘Mhm actually,’ and we had one conversation about it and the framework is there. So, no, it’s not hard to crack. The truth of the matter is, none of these are hard to crack.”

In Top Gun 3, sequel favorites Miles Teller and Glen Powell are expected to reprise their respective roles as Rooster and Hangman. The 2022 movie was directed by Joseph Kosinski from a screenplay written by Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and McQuarrie. During its theatrical run, it garnered a worldwide gross of over $1.4 billion at the box office. It currently holds a near-perfect Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes.
